Tip: Which Fiori Apps Can I Use? Use the Discovery Tool!

2025 Update: This Post Is a Time Capsule

This post was written in 2016 when “I don’t have HANA” was a legitimate concern and the Fiori Apps Library had only a few hundred apps. A lot has changed.

Today, the SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library contains 3,500+ apps, and S/4HANA (which runs on HANA) is now the standard. The manual ST03 upload process described below still works, but there are easier ways to find the right apps:

Lighthouse Scenarios: SAP now curates high-value apps designed for immediate business benefit—look for the lighthouse icon in the library
SAP Readiness Check: Automatically identifies relevant Fiori apps based on your system
AI-Enabled Apps Filter: Find apps with Joule integration, smart summarization, and AI-assisted features
Recommendations Report: Get personalized app suggestions based on your Business Suite usage

The Original Post (2016)

“There are hundreds of Fiori apps, but none of these work for me! Plus, I don’t have HANA.” —everyone

One of the most common complaints about Fiori and the list of apps is that they mostly apply to HANA, and it’s unclear which apps apply to a given customer.

Historically to find the out-of-the-box apps that may work for a customer, we had to filter the list a few ways and then just keep working our way through.

Now though, there is a way to automatically identify the apps that you can use, check pre-req’s, and sort them by importance! Here’s how:

Step 1: Sign In to the Fiori Apps Library

Go to the SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library and find the “Sign In” button on the top right corner. Click that. (Use your OSS ID to login.)

Step 2: Create a New Analysis

You will begin your analysis report. Click “Create new Analysis.”

Note: For detailed steps, refer to the official Relevance and Readiness Documentation.

Step 3: Get Your Usage Profile

To do this, have your Basis team go to T-Code ST03 in production ECC:

Select Workload – Total for the last closed month
Choose Transaction Profile – Standard
Export results list to Excel (clean up if you want)
Remove every column except the T-codes
Save as CSV file

Upload the new profile, and click Step 3.

Step 4: Upload Your System Profile(s)

Do this once for Gateway and once for ECC (or any other backend):

In SAPGUI, after logging in, go to menu: System → Status
Click on Details for Product Version
Click the tab “Installed Software Component Versions”
Right-click the table and select spreadsheet. Export as CSV.

Optional for HANA-based systems: Login to HANA Studio. Run the SQL Command:

select * from "_SYS_REPO"."DELIVERY_UNITS" where vendor = 'sap.com';

On the data return screen, right-click and choose Export Results… and save as CSV.

Step 5: Run Your Report

Now you should have all your profiles saved. Upload them and go to Step 4. Name your report and click next again.

You can now see all the apps, how they apply to you, if you’re missing any components, and do all sorts of other cool things!

The Modern Approach

While the process above still works, today’s SAP Fiori landscape is dramatically different. With Joule AI integration, lighthouse scenarios, and the SAP Readiness Check, finding the right Fiori apps is faster and smarter than ever.
